Concord, NC | This topic/issue may have already been discussed, if so please forgive me. I have a 13 VV and I have a squeaking noise coming from the belly pan. It's really noticeable around 1500-2300 rpm. I've removed all the screws from the front tip overs and the belly pan, and put lock-tight on hoping that would stop it, but it hasn't. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated-thanks in advance for you help! |

Ruskin, Fl | I had an extremely annoying squeak coming from under my 2013. It was the battery mount. Get under there and try to wiggle your battery and see if you hear a squeak. At certain RPMs it almost sounded like a belt squeal. I had to put a piece of rubber between the battery in the bracket to make it stop. |

Concord, NC | That sounds like where it's coming from. When I tap on the bottom of the pan. It sounds like it's coming from the battery tray. I wasn't sure if it was the pan rubbing the tray or what, but thank you for suggestion, I'll definitely check into it! |

West Salem, WI United States | I have that same squeak. There is a bolt at the front lower part of the battery tray. I think the bolt is to long. I had put some adhesive foam in there and that took care of it for a while, now I think the bolt has worn through the foam and its starting to squeak a bit again. Might try a shorter bolt, but that will probably require removing a panel or two. |

Ruskin, Fl | I took the bolt out and but a piece of rubber between the battery and the bracket. I ended up using a rubber squeegee for window tinting. LOL it works perfect. |

Concord, NC | I found where the noise was coming from. The belly pan was rubbing the battery tray. I put some weather stripping around the bottom of the battery tray and no more noise! Thank you all for your suggestions! |
